In actuality, just Zhao Sha was enough to easily kill the Fish Scale King. However, in order to be safe and conclude things as quickly as possible, Zhao Fu sent all 11 Assassin Leaders. A single one of them was enough to kill a Stage 9 expert, so how could the King survive against 11 of them?

After killing the King, the 11 of them did not try to hide anything anymore and made a ruckus. Zhao Sha held his devilish saber as he rushed at a group of guards.

Countless rays of blood-red light shot out, and in just an instant, ten or so people’s bodies were sliced into pieces. Blood and organs fell onto the ground, and a pungent smell spread out.

News of the King’s death spread like a gale, causing the entire nation to be shaken. They had never thought that such a thing would happen, and the assassination of the King caused the entire nation to fall into chaos.

The three alliances had never thought that the King would be assassinated so suddenly. Little Scale had been suggesting attacking, but they said that it was not time yet – now, an opportunity had presented itself.

Now that the King had died, the Guyu Nation had lost its leader and everyone would be focused on seizing the throne. This caused the nation to fall into chaos, and it was undoubtedly the best time to destroy the Guyu Nation.

The three alliances quickly contacted Little Scale, planning to attack together to destroy the Guyu Nation.

Zhao Fu smiled and had the leaders of Little Scale accept their invitation. The four factions planned to attack from four directions.

The three alliances gathered a large number of soldiers and impatiently wanted to charge into the Guyu Nation already and take the Guyu Nation’s territory, resources, and people for themselves. They would no longer be threatened anymore.

On the other hand, Little Scale did not hurry to attack and instead gathered its entire army, which numbered 30 million. They had all used Blood God Pills, and their cultivations were higher than most Fish Scale people’s. The equipment they wore gave them even more confidence.

The Guyu Nation was in a state of panic as it sent out three waves of soldiers to defend against the three alliances, and the two sides quickly clashed. However, the Little Scale side only continued to prepare and did not attack; Zhao Fu was waiting for them to all suffer losses.

The three alliances were busy fighting with the Guyu Nation’s army, so they could not pay any attention to Little Scale. They devoted all of their attention to the battlefield in front of them.

“Kill!” The three alliances’ armies gave off ferocious auras as they charged towards the Guyu Nation. They had immense momentum and were using their full strength to try to destroy the Guyu Nation.

The Guyu Nation’s morale was quite low because their King had just been assassinated and they had hurriedly gathered to defend. They had not yet even chosen a new King yet, and they were at a disadvantage facing the three armies. They already seemed to be losing.

Ear-splitting sounds of war could continuously be heard as blood splattered everywhere. The battle on all fronts was incredibly intense, and people continuously fell as the aura of death continuously grew.

In the end, the Guyu Nation lost and the armies of the three alliances flooded into the Guyu Nation before quickly conquering Cities and regions and taking everything of value.

By now, they had heard that Little Scale did not attack, making them feel quite furious. Evidently, Little Scale wanted them to pay the price while they would reap the benefits.

They had paid a heavy price in casualties, making them feel enraged as to what Little Scale had done. The leaders of the three alliances decided to destroy Little Scale after destroying the Guyu Nation and splitting its territory. That way, these regions would be split between the three of them.

Thinking about that, the leaders of the three alliances felt high-spirited. If they could devour the Guyu Nation and Little Scale, they would become large factions and have a high status within this Continent.

The Guyu Nation had quickly chosen a new King. Now that their defensive lines had been breached, the demise of the nation seemed imminent. The various branches of the royal family did not have any mind to fight amongst themselves and became unified, gathering their remaining forces to fight to the end.

Soon, the two armies once again clashed. The armies of the three alliances had gathered together, forming a massive flood, while the Guyu Nation had created simple defenses to mount a final defense.

“Today will decide the life or death of the Guyu Nation. If we emerge victorious, you will all become heroes of the Guyu Nation. If we fail, you will all be sinners of the Guyu Nation. In this final moment, defend the Guyu Nation to the death!” valiant-looking General riding on a seahorse-like creature loudly shouted to the countless soldiers behind him.

“Defend the Guyu Nation to the death! Defend the Guyu Nation to the death! Defend the Guyu Nation to the death…” countless soldiers cried out. This was a moment of life and death, and it was their final chance. They had to go all out for the nation that they loved, and a wave of battle intent rolled out.

The allied army did not show any weakness. A leader stood in the sky and shouted, “Kill! If we can break through this final line of defense, all women and treasures will belong to whoever can take it for themselves! Those who perform excellently will be promoted by three ranks!”

This caused the allied army’s morale to soar to new heights; women, treasures, and power were some of the most stimulating things.

After this command was given out, the allied army charged towards the Guyu Nation’s army, seeming like an unstoppable flood that would devour everything.

Boom!

A massive sound rang out as both sides ferociously clashed together. Weapons continuously collided as blood flew everywhere and cries continuously sounded out.

A Fish Scale person from the allied army had a savage expression as he pierced through the bodies of two Guyu Nation soldiers with his spear and continued on to another Guyu Nation soldier, who roared and rushed at him with his saber.

Zhao Fu stood in the distance as he observed this battle. In this final stage, everyone seemed to have been baptised by killing and death, and their battle intent was not something that could be compared to during the earlier stages. This was not just the case for the Fish Scale people; even the cowardly and weak humans had become much stronger.

The environment could indeed change people, and if one did not adapt to a cruel environment, one would simply die.

Zhao Fu did not care about these factions at all, because even if they were all added together, Zhao Fu could still destroy them easily.

The battle was incredibly unfavorable to the Guyu Nation. They had already lost many people during the initial defense, and even though their morale was on the same level as the allied army, they simply did not have enough numbers.

Seeing that it was about time, Zhao Fu did not have any interest in continuing to watch, and he ordered Zhao Sha and the others to kill the leaders of the allied army. After suddenly losing their leaders, the allied army immediately fell into chaos, and the Guyu Nation army started to counterattack.

The allied army was forced to run in shame, but before the Guyu Nation could feel happy about this, the long-prepared Little Scale army appeared. Seeing Little Scale’s soldiers, who all gave off powerful auras and were well-equipped, the injured and tired Guyu Nation soldiers felt despair.

What happened next did not need to be described. The Little Scale forces successfully destroyed the Guyu Nation and the three alliances’ forces. They took over 140 regions, which just about satisfied Zhao Fu.
